hi everyone. i hope you are all feeling sinister. jim im sorry to hear one of your heroes passed. ive actually never read one flew over the cukoos nest in its entirety...**shrugs with shame***....i have heard by most of my close friends that it is amazing. elise, sorry i havent emailed you in awhile. ive been terribly busy and even more sloth-like in the email correspondence department. not that that makes it okay to neglect your friends, least of all your sinister friends. well at any rate, elise and the rest of you i havent written back to, my sincerest apologies. :o) so who is on board for the 2nd installment of midwest mayhem on 1 december? scott from iowa can you come this time? scott from iowa how/where have you been? rachel formerly of chicagoish now in minneapolisish, can you come? jim and elise are in i presume. and miss nikki (sp?) from chicago, will you be attendence again? gee i hope i hope i hope. :o) am so looking forward to seeing those of you ive already seen and those of you ive yet to see. aww. sinisters are so cool. ya know whats funny, i dont think we even talked about b&s at our last lil gathering. sept when nikki (sp?) said she had IYFS in her head all day, which i seconded...and others may have thirded and fourthed. hee hee. how is that for proper grammar. speaking of something totally unrelated. i have spent all of my recent spare time reading about this guy called raymond queneau. he was a french writer who has absolutely fascinated me to the very core of my being. he is all i think about. his ideas are so incredible. i wont bore y'all with a life story but if you want to hear about an amazing writer, email me and ill tell you all about him...or perhaps youve heard of him and we can chat. :o) punk rock. one last thing....i dunno if ive mentioned this on this list. if i have i apologise. but can someone, anyone, please explain to me why in the bloody hell the white stripes have a job? scott from iowa and i chatted about them one evening and i was pleased that he agreed and im not totally alone in this. their music is less than mediocre and the vocals....oh my gooses. i never realised it was possible to morph the voices of axl rose and billy squire till i heard white stripes. i spent one entire morning trying to understand the hype. people whose opinions i highly regard and respect mentioned the white stripes and how incredible and talented they were. on first listen i didnt care for them but thought it was the sort of thing that just sort of inadvertantly consumed you. well anyway. thats what i thought the white stripes may be like. so i spent all morning listening to it awhile back. yeah. self rightous art wank bastards who claim that their lack of talent makes them avant garde....when in actuality they are no talent hacks who have really good marketing people. its like i always say: most of the time people will like who they are told they should like. i realise i will get shot by many people for saying that. sorry. just my opinion. anyway. im off now. going shopping and then to the first birthday party of the divine miss olivia (one of the girls i take care of). talk to you all soon. i promise ill write back. perhaps ill even do that now. yes. yes i will. i love you all :o) ps...someone emailed me asking for my aim name and i accidentally delted the email...so if youre reading this...its toadie291 just like my email addy. hasta la pasta ~stine +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
